689 So. 2d 1312 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1997)

Opinion

Case No. 96-2416

Opinion filed March 27, 1997

Appeal from the Circuit Court for Orange County, Lawrence R. Kirkwood, Judge.

Peter Cushing, Orlando, for Appellant.

Henry L. Perla, Orlando, for Appellee.


The judgment of dissolution of marriage is reversed, except for that portion dissolving the marriage, based on the trial court's failure to make the specific findings of fact mandated by subsection 61.08(1), Florida Statutes (1995). See Risk v. Rausch, 680 So.2d 624 (Fla. 5th DCA 1996). We note that there is no provision in the law for "nonmodifiable permanent alimony" and order that provision stricken upon remand.

REVERSED and REMANDED with instructions.

SHARP, W., GOSHORN and ANTOON, JJ., concur.
